Dr. Vicinanzo is an
oculoplastic surgeon. An oculoplastic surgeon is an ophthalmologist
who performs cosmetic and reconstructive
surgery on the eyelids, orbits, brows, and lacrimal
system. This field combines the precision and microsurgical techniques
of ophthalmology with the aesthetic and reconstructive concepts
of plastic surgery. An oculoplastic surgeon thinks like an ophthalmologist
and performs surgery like a plastic surgeon. This combination of
skills makes an oculoplastic surgeon a recognized expert in eyelid
and orbital surgery. |
